So happy!!!!!

Actually I am more than happy. Many of you know that I have been going to school for quite a while now. I was going for a degree in Nursing, of course I still had to get a lot of prerequisites out of the way first, by the time I was almost done with those I got pregnant and decided to switch my major. I hoped to get a degree in Health Information Management Technology, so I could work from home and still spend time with my little girl, plus our son came along as well. I only have 5 classes left until I get my degree. Yay! Anyway, I thought about it very long and Nursing is something I wanted to do since I was little, so why should I do something I wouldn't be happy with. There are sooooooo many schools that offer nursing classes, but sooooooooo little space :(. How would I ever get a spot now? Well this is where my brother-in-law comes in (he is just one awesome guy, heps me out whenever he can, and I am forever grateful for that! My sister is one lucky gal to have him :) ) He called around and by the sounds of it, I HAVE A SPOT in one of the colleges. The only down part, it doesn't start 'til September, buy hey, that's better than never. I am sooooooo lucky and soooooooo happy you can't even imagine. Just thought I'd share.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

I am just stopping in to wish everyone a Happy Valentine's Day! Hope you have a wonderful day :)

Valentines Pics

Why do kids always choose to NOT cooperate when all you want is ONE decent picture? I have tried for a little while to just click away and hope that there is one good one amongst them. No such luck, they finally got uninterested (not that they ever were interested) and left the scene :) Okay, okay, maybe I shouldn't place blame on the kids alone! I think I'm not as good of a picture taker as I thought I was *lol*. Anyways, here is what I did capture. Enjoy:

February pages "My heart loves..."

In the last post I promised you that I would upload the pictures of the LOs that we made in class on Thursday. I absolutely love this LO, probably on of my faves. Hope you like it too. :)

The quote reads: "being deeply LOVED by someone gives you Strength, loving someone DEEPLY gives you courage"

January Pages "Winter Wonderland"

I have been taking several classes at my LSS, but most of my classes are with Rebecca, she is just so darn creative and talented, I don't know how she does it, but she is awesome. Anyway she started this new class that she is teaching once a month. We design 2 pages for that month (jan-winter, feb-valentines, march-st.patrick's day, you get the point). The class includes an album of our choice that we will decorate later on in the year. This way we will have one completed album of the whole year. Well yesterday we did our pages for February, and I am just in love with this one. I will have to take some pics of them and post them a little later.

Thought I would share January's pages for now (they don't have any pictures on them yet, but the snow pictures are perfect for this one :) )

These pages were also published by Designs byReminisce! How awesome is that :) TFL.

I Won?

Yesterday when I got home, Patrick told me that someone had called and said that I entered a drawing at the Kidzapalooza and that I actually won. They just needed me to call them back. So of course that's the first thing I did this morning, she said I entered a drawing for $50,000 or a brand new car. Yay, at this point I could use both. Then she said, well we didn't draw a name for that yet, but in the meantime your name was pulled for a free vacation (3 days, 2 nights - flight and hotel included) to either Orlando Florida, Las Vegas, or Reno! I could really use a vacation as well, but at this point I'm thinking that this is all a hoax. They want you to come to some seminar for 1 hour and then you'll get your tickets. Why don't they just send me my prize? Or why can't I just come pick up the tickets without sitting in a seminar for an hour? I don't have time for stuff like that. I talked to my sister and she told me that they called her as well. Okay so I guess I didn't win, but that's okay. I won an hour more that I can spend with my wonderful kids instead of sitting and listening to something I don't even care about! That's a lot more than I can ask for.

WOW!

Wow, wow, wow. It has been almost a whole month since I updated my blog last. How could I have gone so long without updating. Anyways, I have been keeping pretty busy, a lot going on in my life.

In my last post I mentioned that I was waiting for the snow, so I can finally get some snow pictures. Well, the snow was here and is long gone again (okay it snowed a little yesterday, but nothing worth mentioning really). SO, here are some of the pics that I got of my little bugs, Carson didn't really like being outside. I can't wait to put them on a layout!

Okay, I promise to post more often, and maybe I will be able to post some scrapbook projects soon. Thanks so much for visiting my blog and remember Happy Scrapping!
